Draft jobs failing

I’m not sure if this is an error using the beta release of deadline but as I am using this release (Deadline Version: 6.1.0.53841 R) I would post it here.

Ok, once I’ve rendered an image sequence I select the deadline job choose scripts, Draft submission, fill in the relevant fields such as input file and draft template (picking a ready made preset) and submit.

It then errors out. I have pasted the log from the slave that tried it below.

Any ideas or should I be posting this somewhere else.

Hi Phil,

The Draft job is failing because Draft is unable to find a valid license. You can email sales@thinkboxsoftware.com to request a license for Draft.

Note that the release candidate versions of 6.1 use Draft 1.1, so make sure to request a license for Draft 1.1.

Cheers,
Ryan

Thanks, I’ll get onto it.
